Lord Ruthven Begins (Stage Play)

My science is cursed. I meddled with impenetrable mysteries. My impious eye has sounded the depths of the tomb, and from there, I have made an infernal monster appear. Three days ago, you laughed at the notion of those creatures whose lives continue after death, but they exist, the vampires live!

Scotland, 1648. Sir William Clifford expects to receive the vast Ruthven estates after the death of the old Lord, but a young man suddenly appears, claiming to the be the new Lord Ruthven, and also claiming the hand of the beautiful Anna Clifford in marriage.

Only Anna's lover, Dr. Maxwell, knows the handsome stranger's ghastly secret--that he is a vampire returned from the grave!
